In his only turn as Tarzan, 1936 Olympic decathlon champion Glenn Morris cavorts in the jungle with another Olympian, swimming star Eleanor Holm. Neither athlete pursued a movie career, so this film is a rarity in that we see them together! Also of note to film buffs is the musical score by Oscar nominated Hugo Riesenfeld (Make a Wish), one of the top composers of Hollywoods early sound era. Riesenfeld worked with such giants of the cinema as Cecil B. DeMille, D.W. Griffith, and F.W. Murnau.
